Chapter 251: Chapter 250 This feeling of freedom is⊠Bang! Chapter 251: Chapter 250 This feeling of freedom is⊠Bang! In an instant, Alexâs expression changed dramatically, turning into a beaming smile full of enthusiasm as he greeted Richard, âMy dear friend, you must not have had dinner yet, how about we order something now? Let me tell you, my food is so tastyâŠââStop,â Richard said.
âUh,â Alex immediately shut up and shrank, muttering quietly in defense, âI really didnât do it on purpose, who knew that guy was so sneaky, I wouldnât have sold him even a bottle of the potion if I had knownâŠâ
âOkay, Alex,â Richard looked at him seriously and spoke out, âIâm not here to hold you responsible for anything, I just want to remind you to be more careful and pay attention in the future. Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, youâre the one whoâs going to be unlucky.â
âUh, is that so?â Alex suddenly showed a touched expression, âMy dear friend, so you were considering all this for my sake, I, I, IâŠâ
âNo,â Richard said calmly, âIâm considering it for my own sake. If something happens to you, if you die, then Iâd have to find someone else to trade with, which would waste my time.â
Alex: ââŠâ
âAnyway, just be more diligent in the future. On one hand, you need to ensure your own safety, donât actually die. On the other hand, donât mess it up too badly and disappoint me; otherwise, this deal might be our last, and next time Iâll look for someone else to cooperate with.
On this basis, if you pull some minor tricks, I wonât bother too much. Two Lower-grade Crystal Coins are the fixed price Iâve determined. If you can sell for a higher price, thatâs your skill, even if you sell for the exorbitant price of 200 Lower-grade Crystal Coins. But donât pursue a high price so much that you end up not selling a single bottle of potion.
In short, you can play tricks, but it must be under the assurance that you complete the tasks I assign to you, otherwise our cooperation will have to cease. Do you understand?â
âI understand,â Alex nodded, showing a serious expression, âI will definitely try to correct this and do my best.â
âThatâs good, Iâm leaving now, goodbye,â Richard said, and turned to leave.
Watching Richard disappear through the door, Alex blinked and murmured, âSo, does that mean I donât have to hand over the extra Crystal Coins if I sell for more, thenâŠâ
âAh, no, Iâll definitely hand over the extra Crystal Coins, certainly!â Alex quickly corrected himself.
Because⊠Richard had walked back in.
âThereâs one more thing,â Richard turned to Alex and said, âYou invited me for dinner just now, right?â
âUhâŠâ Alex didnât know how to respond.
âWell, pack up this, this, this, and these from your table for me; Iâm taking them with me.â
âAh?â
âAny problem?â
âNo problem.â
âThatâs fine then, you should also cut down on your dinner a bit,â Richard said, âAfter all, with your figure already like this, eating less would be better.â
Alex: ââŠâ
Soon, Richard left with a food box full of dishes, leaving only a plate of pale boiled beans on the dining table in the living room.
Alex looked at the beans on the table, feeling they werenât even enough to stick between his teeth, and complained grievously, âIs this necessary, really necessary? Isnât it enough that I am handing over the money? Donât touch my food! This food isnât just for meâthere was a big plan! Now that itâs all taken away, it might be too late to fix it, thenâŠâ
As Alex was talking, there came a knock on the door.
âWho is it?â
âItâs me.â A sultry female voice answered, followed by a woman in her forties with a well-preserved allure walking into the room.
With a smile on her face, she tapped Alexâs chest and said, âMy Little Alex, I hear youâve made some money recently and youâre inviting me to dinner?â
âUhâŠâ
âLetâs see what youâve got ready for me,â the woman said, glancing over the dining table, and then her expression changed to one of profuse anger, âA plate of beans? Just a plate of beans?! Is this the dinner youâre inviting me to?â
âUh, thatâŠâ Alex stumbled over his words, âLady Amanda, actually, it wasnât supposed to be like this, justâŠâ
There are some people in the world who wonât listen to explanations, and thatâs women.
âI donât want to hear it, I donât! You deceiver!â the woman shrieked angrily, turning to leave, âI can have a better dinner on my own, at least with bread. Think a plate of beans is enough to placate me? Delusional! You even expected to, after dinner, get intimate with me? Dream on!â
âI⊠Lady Amanda, Lady Amanda! Hear me out, itâs really not what youâre thinkingâŠâ Alex called out loudly, but the woman had already vanished outside the door.
Alex, looking dejected: âThere goes my happinessâŠâ
Meanwhile, in the laboratory.
Gutas was panting heavily, wriggling on the ground like a lump of flesh, one, two, three times.
His eyes caught a glimpse of something shiny in the corner of the roomâa broken Glass Tube.
Gutari hurriedly turned his body around, using his barely functioning hands to grasp the broken glass shards, then began the difficult task of cutting through the ropes that bound his body.
âSlicing soundsâŠâ
One, two, three timesâŠ
After what felt like an eternity, Gutas felt his entire body loosen as the rope broke and slid offâa taste of freedom at last.
âPhew!â
Gutas stood up, gasping for large breaths of free air, savoring the rarity of freedom, and then quickly began plotting his next move.
What next?
Escape was necessary, but that brat who dared to knock him out and interrogate him, he needed to exact revenge.
There was a little girl asleep in the room, should he kill her? Yes, kill her!
But⊠that would be letting the other side off too easily; along with killing the little girl, he should also set this entire courtyard ablaze.
Of course, before igniting, heâd gather and take away the useful potions for himself.
While thinking this, Gutas was about to act, but suddenly turned his head to the side, frowning slightly: Hey, whereâs that little girl who was sleeping on the bed? She was just there, how could she suddenly disappear?
The next moment, Gutas saw a fair fist rapidly zooming into his field of vision.
What is this?
As Gutas wondered, he felt a severe pain coursing through his body as his world crashed into darkness, his consciousness swiftly plummeting into the Abyss.
âThud!â
Gutasâ body landed stiffly on the ground, while Pandora half-closed her eyes and climbed back into bed.
Disrupting her sleep? She deserved a beating!
Pandora thought as she rolled over and went back to sleep.
